New Sony Xperia smartphones debut at CES 2014

This week sees new tech launch announcements from the CES event being held in Las Vegas. Here are two launch reports by Pocket Now for new smartphones from the Sony show stand:

The new Sony Xperia Z1 compact

This looks like a great product, sized similar to the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and Apple iPhone 5S. So it’s more pocketable and easy to hold than the larger flagship Xperia Z1. But it appears to retain many of the high specifications of it’s larger sibling:

The new Sony Xperia Z1S

This is a minor version tweak that replaces the aluminium case band with plastic, but otherwise it looks very similar to the current Xperia Z1.
